Arizona outmuscled by Baylor in rare home loss: ‘We just weren’t tough enough’

After being burned by second-chance points in Sunday’s loss to Alabama, the Arizona Wildcats hoped an extended week of practice would remedy their rebounding woes.

So much for that.

The Baylor Bears outrebounded Arizona 50-19 on Saturday, outmuscling the Wildcats en route to a 58-49 victory in McKale Center. The Bears turned 18 offensive rebounds into 19 second-chance points.

“That’s the story,” said Arizona coach Sean Miller. “We certainly emphasized (rebounding) all week, but I don’t know if I’ve been a part of a stat sheet where it’s 50-19. It’s tough to really expand from there.
